Monster Kitchen and Bar wanders through the ground floor of Ovolo Nishi, preoccupied with local and seasonal produce prepared for sharing.

Where primal meets refined, and where taste knows no boundaries. Monster is a space where herbivores and carnivores alike can share a meal together without compromise. The menu is a celebration of bold flavours and strikes a harmonious balance between carefully curated, locally source meats produced alongside years of plant-based expertise. With a dedicated vegetarian or omnivore set menu and dishes designed to shine as standalone or shared plates, Monster offers something for everyone.

Monster Bar offers an elevated cocktail experience created with modern techniques, and flavours ever changing to highlight the season. Implementing our very own twist on the most iconic cocktails you’d only find in the best hotel bars around the world. Since layering the produce driven menu to hero key vegetables, the wine list has followed in similar suit.

Lovely food, definitely a place for a special occasion as it’s a bit pricey but overall it was a beautiful experience. The pork belly, spatchcock and salad was delicious. Leave room for dessert too as the tiramisu and hazelnut cream/mouse thing was delicious!

Booked here for a fixed menu dinner yet despite the hotel in which it is housed advertising it as "our in-house vegetarian restaurant" it wasn't and therefore had to go with what they gave me. Ordered champagne when sitting down which arrived at same time as cocktail which was pre-ordered approximately 45 minutes later. After 1 hour 15 mins second course arrived and was pretty ordinary. Dessert arrived 2hrs and 30 mins after arrival and they literally tried to serve it to another table who said 'too late, we are leaving' so they just dumped it over on mine. Paid almost $400 for this? Complained to the manager who just stood there staring at me. Never going back.

I knew it to be a good option for vegetarians. Yes, there were vegetarian dishes but not the previous variety. Food, still excellent Service, still ordinary to ok. We had to look for staff to get menus (damaged pages in the drinks folder) and coffee. Payment is card or exact cash. Yes, you can split the bill. Ambience. Unless you are sitting near the windows it is a dark space. Even in the day. Honestly, it’s a good place to go before or after a movie and I do go there regularly to study, but I wouldn’t bother again for a nice catch-up with friends. It’s too hard to get served. The space is open with multiple areas making it hard for the staff to actually see what is going on in each area. The day we visited there appeared to be two staff doing the floor for multiple areas. They did their best.

I won't go back, we had both the vegetarian and meat tasting plates and all but 2 items were awful. Past meals here were awesome, I have no idea how they have fallen so far. The food was tasteless and oily, the chairs all stained and glasses dirty, 3 attempts to get a clean wine glass due to lipstick is unheard of.

My partner and I dined here for the first time tonight. We ordered the feed me menu - omni for him and vegetarian for myself. There was no issue when we asked for my food to be made vegan and gluten free. Some replacements had to be made to suit my dietary requirements and everything was absolutely delicious. The wait staff were very friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was calm and romantic. We are looking forward to going back.

Terrible service! Not recommended for food allergies. On one visit I was served caviar with a vegan dish (i.e. should be no seafood). We were very clear when ordering and ordered items that were specifically labelled on the menu as vegan options. Allergies were recorded upon booking as well. Waiters communication skills are lacking. One of our waiters on tonight's visit thought I was asking for sugar on my pasta when I was describing the tomato sugo. After notifying two other waiters of the issue with my meal, a replacement was eventually provided that looked like a 1 star kid's meal. My partner's meal wasn't great either - he's had it before and it was good, so must be hit and miss depending on the night. We left and I had popcorn for dinner from the cinema downstairs, which had more vegan and food allergy safe items! Won't risk going back.

Great food, awesome location. A real mix of very experienced and attentive staff, and inexperienced staff that really shouldn’t be in the roles they’re in as yet. An enjoyable night. Even though they’ve switched to an omnivore menu I enjoyed the vegetarian menu as much or more than the omnivore one. Order the salads for a real taste sensation… truely!

Booked a table with bar food only. Food we ordered was delicious - corn ribs and mussels particularly. Would have liked a wider variety of small share plates, but still great. Cocktails were interesting. Unfortunately the one I really wanted was not available.

When I booked, I expected we would get table service. Had to put credit card up for the booking to be a bar menu and service.

We had a family dinner for 10 on Xmas eve. Food was fantastic, had a lot of share plates which were easy and plentiful. Service and atmosphere was good, we did not get rushed out and stayed until late. Would definitely come back again.
